Label GMO's in New Mexico so people can make informed decisions about the food they purchase and feed their families.

Dear Governor Martinez, and all members of the New Mexico Legislature: As food consumers we demand executive and legislative action leading to laws requiring that all food sold in this great State be clearly labeled to indicate whether it contains Genetically Modified ingredients. A bill titled "New Mexico Right to Know GMO Content of Food Sold or Served to Consumers." Estimado gobernador Martínez y todos los miembros de la legislatura de nuevo México: como los consumidores de alimentos exigimos acción ejecutiva y legislativa a las leyes que exigen que todos los alimentos vendidos en este gran estado claramente sean etiquetados para indicar si contiene ingredientes genéticamente modificados. Un proyecto de ley titulado " Nuevo México: el derecho de saber del contenido de OMG de alimentos vendidos o para servir a consumidores.”

*If adjusted for increases in worker productivity since 1968, the minimum wage would be $21.72. *If the minimum wage had grown at the same rate as the income of the 1% since 1968, it would be $22.62. **If adjusted for inflation since 1956, the minimum wage would be $10.56. The United States has become, or is quickly becoming, a de facto plutocracy/oligarchy. Before people begin thinking of guillotines, this must end. Why should the 1% be allowed to steal a greater and greater percentage of the profit created by the labor and minds of the 99% - the workers? If the government was not a de facto plutocracy/oligarchy, why would it let the minimum wage fall to where an individual working 40 hours a week is living in poverty? What significance does the word "minimum" have to these mendicants to the plutocrats/oligarchs? Workers unite and sign this petition. It is step 1.

I am a clinical psychologist currently working with Native American youth and families in New Mexico. New Mexico charges a gross receipt tax on Medicaid and Medicare Federal monies. As a private practitioner who serves almost exclusively native youth and families (19 pueblos and four recognized tribes), I receive about 96% of my income from Medicaid. I feel that I, and others who take Medicaid and Medicaid fee-for-service monies, are unfairly penalized by having to pay gross receipts tax on disbursements from Optum Health. The gross receipts tax is traditionally reserved for retail businesses that charge the consumer a "tax" on items bought and sold. I cannot bill my clients a “gross receipts tax” as the clients I see receive Medicaid due to compromised incomes and are living below the poverty line, usually unable to afford bus fare or food. How can I charge them gross receipts tax when they see me? So then it is I who absorbs this tax, as well as being additionally liable for federal and personal state income tax on these same "fee-for-service" monies. It is simply not fair. I make home visits on pueblos, make school visits, and participate in Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team decision making meetings, often translating the western educational model to indigenous grandmothers raising native children whose parents are absent due to substance abuse and violent relationship issues. The issue of gross receipts must be addressed. The kind of private practice I currently pursue will not be able to survive should the current level of gross receipts levied on state monies be continued. It is estimated that Medicaid in the state of New Mexico currently serves 100,000 people and that with the new health care reforms this number will grow to 300,000. Remember, all state (Medicaid) monies are subject to gross receipts tax. Who will stay in business to help these growing numbers? There are currently 550 practicing psychologists in the state of New Mexico and only 134 accept Medicaid and Medicare. Why? One of the reasons is that this unfair tax continues to make it difficult for private practitioners to make a living and still serve the culture of poverty pervasive throughout this state. I passionately believe that competent professionals should be able to practice in rural areas without the burden of this tax. Please join me in becoming a unified front advocating for competent care in Indian country and underserved populations in the State of New Mexico.

Please end this archaic practice, Springing forward and Falling back are nothing more than a nuisance. There are no reasonable arguments, nor studies which support the idea.

As New Mexicans, we demand accountability from Governor Martinez by removing Secretary Deines and appointing someone that will provide answers for why our children are falling through the cracks at CYFD. It's time for action, not excuses.
